+aria2 1.8.1
+===========
+
+Release Note
+------------
+
+This release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault if unknown
+options exist in aria2.conf file and user cannot include empty line in
+aria2.conf.
+
+Following new command line options are added: --http-no-cache,
+--bt-metadata-only and --human-readable option.  --dir option now
+treats "" as ".".  --all-proxy, --http-proxy, --https-proxy and
+--ftp-proxy option accept empty string "".  When "" is given, it
+erases previously defined proxy.
+
+aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method was added.  aria2.tellWaiting and
+aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC method accept a negative integer as
+offset. For example, in aria2.tellWaiting, 'offset' == -1 points last
+download in the waiting queue and 'offset' == -2 points the download
+before the last download, and so on.  'dir' and 'files' key were added
+to the response struct of aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method.  The value
+associated with 'files' key is the list of files. Its element is the
+same struct used in aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method.  'uris' key was
+added to the response struct of aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method.  The
+value associated with 'uris' key is the list of URIs. Its element is
+the same struct used in aria2.getUris XML-RPC method.  aria2 now
+returns gzip compressed XML-RPC response if XML-RPC client accepts
+gzip content encoding.
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+ * aria2 now returns gzip compressed XML-RPC response if XML-RPC
+   client accepts gzip content encoding.
+
+ * Added dir and files key to the response struct of aria2.tellStatus
+   XML-RPC method.  The value associated with files key is the list of
+   files. Its element is the same struct used in aria2.getFiles
+   XML-RPC method.  Added uris key to the response struct of
+   aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method.  The value associated with uris key
+   is the list of URIs. Its element is the same struct used in
+   aria2.getUris XML-RPC method.
+
+ * Added aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method.  This method returns a
+   struct containing Session ID, which is generated each time when
+   aria2 is invoked.
+
+ * Now offset argument in aria2.tellWaiting and aria2.tellStopped
+   accept a negative integer.  'offset' == -1 points last download in
+   the waiting queue and 'offset' == -2 points the download before the
+   last download, and so on. The downloads in the response are in
+   reversed order.
+
+ * Added --human-readable option.  This option, when true is given,
+   prints sizes and speed in human readable format(e.g., 1.2Ki, 3.4Mi)
+   in the console readout. The default value is true and it looks
+   exactly the same as aria2-1.8.0.  So the 'new feature' appears when
+   false is given.  In this case, sizes and speed are printed in
+   bytes. No Ki, Mi units conversion is used.  This may be useful for
+   a program to parse the output of aria2.
+
+ * Now --all-proxy, --http-proxy, --https-proxy and --ftp-proxy option
+   accept empty string "".  When "" is given, it erases previously
+   defined proxy.
+
+ * Added --bt-metadata-only option.  If true is given to this option,
+   aria2 downloads metadata only. The file(s) described in metadata
+   will not be downloaded. This option has effect only when BitTorrent
+   Magnet URI is used. See also --bt-save-metadata option.
+
+ * Fixed memory leak. Commands stored in std::deque<Command*> are not
+   deleted when exception is thrown.
+
+ * Replaced '/' and '\' with '_' in HTTP/FTP filename.
+
+ * Treat --dir="" as --dir="."
+
+ * Added --http-no-cache option.  When true is given, aria2 sends
+   Cache-Control: no-cache and Pragma: no-cache header to avoid cached
+   content.  If false is given , these headers are not sent and you
+   can add Cache-Control header with a directive you like using
+   --header option.
+
+ * Added following sentence to the help message of --out option:
+   --out option is ignored when -Z is used.
+
+ * Added --bt-save-metadata option to -i list options.
+
+ * Fixed compile error with i586-mingw32msvc-gcc 4.4.2, which is
+   debian's corss compiler, without any additional libraries.
+
+ * Fixed the bug that causes segmentation fault if unknown option is
+   put in aria2.conf file. BUG#2928303
+
+ * Ignore port message with port=0.
+
+ * Updated autoconf/automake auxiliary files.
